What does the rally have to do with Pro Football?
She had me at "Hell, NO!"

Re: Your Vote Counts
The rally is for the fans...this is a fan site. I think the correlation is pretty obvious.

Re: Your Vote Counts
It may or may not work. At least Nestor is doing something. That's more then can be said for most people.

Re: Your Vote Counts
Nestor is trying, which I commend, but it won't matter. Your poll is missing a third choice, Angelos will just disregard the whole thing and continue business as usual. Even is Nestor filled the stadium up I don't think it would make PA bat an eye.

Re: Your Vote Counts
All Angelos will see this as is 3,000 extra tickets sold for a midweek game that I think is a make up game for a rained out game earlier this season, it won't register with him at all, plus Brits seem to be more seasoned in getting ownership to leave professional teams than Yanks and a walk out is most definately not the way to put across a message to owners, a walk out sends a message to the team, not the owners or the board.

Re: Your Vote Counts
Ron,
Just so you know, I put the poll on today because as I've said in my blog, I admire WNST's dedication to this rally. I thought I would help to bring even more attention to it for those that aren't aware. This site is for Ravens fans and for sports fans of Baltimore. You may have noticed the various boards we offer here that aren't Ravens or Pro Football related. Therefore I thought the poll was relevant to this site. Here's a list of previous polls: http://www.profootball24x7.com/fan_polls.php
There are no plans to do any polls on the Blast or Ironbirds but I'm open to suggestions ;)
I think the rally is noble....but are all of those Moons really necessary? Did we really need 20 redundant chapters 3 times a day? I'd personally rather hear NST's normally programming but that's just me.
And while this may be a labor of love for him (and I believe in part it is) all of the talk about the rock concerts and the athletes he's met and all the girls he's had before aren't relevant to the effort, hence my opinion that this is in part a publicity stunt. But that's my opinion.
I don't think this rally accomplishes anything... Why would an owner change his evil ways after 3,000 people "show up" to a game when the millions that haven't shown up have hardly been persuasive? Again that's my opinion and I hope I'm wrong. But I don't think so. I admire and appreciate that you apparently do think it will make a difference and I'd love for you to be right and shove crow down my throat.
I just don't see it...sorry.
As for other media outlets not jumping on because they didn't think of it first, I have to disagree. Nestor has nothing to lose. His relationship with the Orioles can't get much worse now can it? The others have something to lose. He has no opportunity cost while the others do.
In the end, I hope he wins.
His efforts deserve the publicity...and when it's over, that's the only thing that he'll get from his hours of dedication to a rally that never ever had a chance to succeed from the start if the ultimate goal was to change Peter Angelos or affect his sale of the team.
If anything, it could all end up making it harder for the Orioles to attract free agent talent to Baltimore or top shelf scouts that might help the farm system.
Please feel free to vote any time.
Rave on!Follow me on Twitter @RSRLombardi

Re: Your Vote Counts
It won't make him sell, no chance.
What it may do, combined with the lower attendance this year, among other things, is get him to throw some money around in FA this year in an effort to show he wants to win and is doing what it takes to put a winning team on the field. Maybe.''You'd love to go on the first day but I'm glad for the situation I'm in,'' he said. ''Baltimore knows how to play defense.''

Re: Your Vote Counts
Apparently, he felt so. Is your blog really necessary? Apparently, you feel so, isn't that good enough for you? If you don't like it, don't listen and/or don't read.

I don't think PA has a clue about how much he is reviled by his fanbase. Maybe this will give him that clue. What that accomplishes, I don't know, but what's your plan?
